MUSLIM EMPLOYEES SETTLE RELIGIOUS DISCRIMINATION LAWSUIT: PRAYER AT WORK NEEDS ACCOMMODATION

In CA, it is against the law for your employer to discriminate against you because of your religion. Additionally, your employer needs to reasonably accommodate your religious beliefs. when a group of Muslim processing plant workers felt that their prayer times were not being reasonably accommodated by their employer, they took legal action.

As a result, their employer will now add a paid break during the second half of each shift which – will accommodate the religious beliefs of the Muslim employees who wish to pray during the course of the work day. This is in addition to a break early in the shift and lunch breaks otherwise required by Federal law. An experienced employment lawyer can help you get the same results.
